England vs New Zealand Tests: Schedule, timings, live streaming details

The Test series between England and New Zealand will begin from June 2 at Lord's cricket ground Check England vs New Zealand full schedule, match timing, weather forecast, live broadcast details here

England cricket team will kick start its summer season with a two-match Test series against New Zealand from June 2. England is stepping into its home season on the back of 3-1 loss against India in the five-match rubber during February-March in India. The Joe Root-led side will test its bench strength ahead of Ashes 2021-22 in Australia later this year and so some big players have been rested. New Zealand, on the other hand, would take the two-match series as a great opportunity to prepare for the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) against India at Southampton, starting June 18.

England vs New Zealand Test venues

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic last year, England has been playing most of its matches at Southampton and Manchester as both the venues have a hotel inside the stadium. This helped England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to create a safe bio-bubble last year.
 
However, it would be first time that England team would play outside Manchester and Southampton in almost a year's time as the first England vs New Zealand test match will be played at the iconic Lord’s cricket ground, London while the second match of the series will be hosted at Edgbaston.
